Classic Sad Songs - Part 90 - Indian Cinema - 1949 To 1983

These are some of the most popular Hindi "Sad Songs" of Indian Cinema, produced between 1949 and 1983. Apparently, there are so many but due to copyright issues, I had to skip many of them!
Please note that I have selected these songs as "Sad" considering ONLY the melody and not the lyrics since I do not know Hindi or Urdu languages.
Almost all the songs are very popular in my country, Sri Lanka too.
Thank you.
